SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite business has come to market selling 86 billion dollars' worth of shares and overnight shattering previous IPO records. But not everyone is convinced of its value, so are investors buying a moonshot? Tim Fernholz, senior reporter at TechCrunch & author of Rocket Billionaires: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the New Space Race says - at least for now - SpaceX is selling a vision, with a big price tag. How do you put a price on human creativity? Around the world AI companies are being challenged over alleged violations of copyright laws and here in Australia artists and creators are holding the line. They say they’re ready to negotiate, but Big Tech just won’t pay to play.
